Answer:

C. necessary to abolish slavery nationwide forever

Step-by-step explanation:

It abolished any sort of forced/involuntary servitude with one exception only, in case of someone being condemned for a crime.

The 13 Amendment says that: "either slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction".
